So I went through this who process of reverting to stock RUU, applying the update and then re-rooting with unrevoked. All seems to have gone fine except for one issue. Now it seems my 3G connection frequently just turns off. I started noticing unusually long periods of no emails only to find the 3G icon not showing in the Notification Panel. I then go into Wireless and Network settings and Mobile Network says "turning on..." but is greyed out and never successfully starts unless I reboot my phone.

Anybody else noticing this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Chemdawg:
Well, here's my story. I ran the Adrynalyne restore to go back to factory. Ran the New update. EVERYTHING worked fine. 720P, etc.... I redid the unrevoked thing again. Everything was still cool. Now here is where it got jacked up:

Once I ran the Unrevoked 3.1 the first time, I used the nandroid to make a backup of everything the way it was. Once I did all this work and got the phone setup with the new ota, I restored my backup. Now my phone is back to the way it was before I started all of this. So I guess if someone were to post their Nandroid backup on here, someone else could use it.

Can anyone recommend a way to backup all your apps and contacts, and settings, etc... So that once you put the new update in there, you can restore it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Backup Pro, $4.99. Backup your apk's and data for them, and then backup your contacts (although I use gmail), mms, etc. etc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JTCGiants56:
Why would you restore an old version of a nandroid backup after you applied the update? Did you not realize that a nandroid backup is an exact copy of your entire phone and that it wipes the current ROM installed?

Anyways, next time just so you know for when you install a new ROM, in clockwork recovery under nandroid just select the advanced restore option. Restore ONLY the data folder of your previously backed up installation. You should then have all of your settings, apps, messages, call history, ect all on your fresh new installation.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lahegry:
just my input

heres a cool feature about clockworkmod recovery, once you're in it go to the nandroid restore option click on advanced and restore data and cache from a previous backup and all apps and settings will be restored once you reboot.

I was screwing around with my phone after the ota when i found this and thought it was useful:D:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] whiplash000:
My phone keeps rebooting after installing this leaked OTA. It'll reach the lock screen and run for about 20 seconds, then it reboots... I checked the dmesg log and every time it reboots, it displays this:

<3>[ 321.847534] init: untracked pid 2150 exited
<3>[ 321.860168] init: untracked pid 1977 exited
<3>[ 321.860687] init: untracked pid 2034 exited
<3>[ 321.861267] init: untracked pid 2126 exited
<3>[ 321.864746] init: untracked pid 2011 exited
<3>[ 321.880523] init: untracked pid 2025 exited
<3>[ 321.890258] init: untracked pid 1969 exited
<3>[ 321.890777] init: untracked pid 1958 exited
<3>[ 321.960418] init: untracked pid 1983 exited
<3>[ 321.970245] init: untracked pid 1878 exited

I tried tracing what these PIDs were. They're just random processes... some are Sense-related, some are apps I installed, and some are android system proceses. The PIDs change every time and the process names are different after each reboot. After rebooting around 6 or 7 times, it'll stop rebooting and (seemingly) work normally...

I REALLY hope this is just a bug from the leaked update...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ezy1022:
someone mentioned that 802.11 'n' has been enabled with the OTA however when i am using wireless tether my laptop is only seeing it as 'g'...two questions,

1 is the phone using 'n' can anyone actually confirm/prove this? and

2 is this bec of something to do with the wireless tether app?

thanx all
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HolyGrail:
Had issues the first time (user error on on my part). Had to revert back using adrynalyne's Ruu guide. Started over and now everything is working great.

If you guys are getting issues you can't solve, I would just take a deep breath, revert back the Ruu, and start over.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
Sorry read your post wrong, i'm not sure about tethering. I know that i can connect my phone to my wireless n network and it shows as 65Mbps, which is n, g highest speed is 54Mbps
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
It seems there are two 'leaked' OTA updates. One of them flashes

HBOOT .77

, and the other flashes

HBOOT .79

. The one I am currently running uses HBOOT .77.

This may mean that the folks running .77 can RUU to a (non-leaked) RUU without having to perform the extra steps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xvenom89:
Why sugest MyBackup pro when the overall better choice for all backup solutions is Titanium Backup?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] whiplash000:
Turns out it's worse than I thought. It'll do this boot loop at any point in time for any reason. I'm downgrading ASAP!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] outsid0r:
the 802.11 N is only good for the phone to connect to a N network, its not been able to broadcast at N levels by anyone yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
I posted a nandroid backup in general for post-ota members. In anyone forgot to create their own. Feel free to upload.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobhinkle:
Bricked Phone

Ok here is the story no one wants to hear.

I managed to completely brick my phone trying to do this update. I applied an RUU that had an hboot of .79. Applied the update and it went through. But it didn't update the system to 2.2. just updated the radio to 2. So i tried applying the update again. It got to the Phone with the two green arrows and then shut off. now it wont turn on at all. Even with a different battery and plugged into a power outlet. Doesn't get lights and isn't getting detected by my computer.

Sucks to have to have lost a phone like this and only after having it for like 2 weeks. Any ideas of what i can do?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
This may all be moot as BGR reported today that VZW is halting the interim OTA update in order to load FroYo into a combined update due out end of July, first of August...

[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Pray they will warranty it? There are warnings in this thread not to update it over itself.

Stuff like this, you need to read, read some more, google until your eyes bleed and read some more so you know what you are getting into.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobhinkle:
I swear i've read this article a dozen times. when it updated but not completely i guess i didn't think to go back to stock before trying again. With it being 100% bricked has anyone heard of any way to get out of this? Been googling or a little while now and only come up with motorola fixes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
There is no fix :(

Its 100% hosed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobhinkle:
Yeah kinda sinking in now. well i called tech support. im under warranty still so i'll send it in and see what happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ezun:
I've heard tech support in the stores is pretty good. Sometimes they can save the phone and if not they're relatively cool about hacking. I have no first hand experience but it might be worth a shot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
This update does not update you to 2.2, it is 2.1-update 1.

The problem you have has been discussed here several times, apparently this has happened to several users who try to install the update on top of itself.

Sorry to hear about your problem but maybe with it happening so often someone will figure out a fix.

gadget!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobhinkle:
Well i guess thats what i get for getting all my info crossed. I guess though when its get to where i am the warranty is the only fix. plus i went to the verizon store. they weren't' much help. just tried another battery and sorry.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Yeah and if it backfires someone's account gets notated and in the end, screwed.

Don't even take that chance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RXWatcher:
From page 1:

Everyone should know that if you apply this update and VZW changes the radio in the official then you probably won't be able to upgrade your radio to it.

Also if you do this you will not be able to revert back to stock until a new RUU is released, and the problem with a new RUU is that they may close all known root methods. If you try with any current RUU's you will get a "Main version is older" error.

Is that really true anymore? If you were able to downgrade to the original leaked RUU then you should be able to apply the newer radio, right?

And you can revert back to stock using the method of applying the original leaked RUU.

I used that post to revert back so I'm now back to stock with root so I'm just confirming.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
No, that statement is incorrect.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mach3te:
IMO I think everyone should hold off on this update for the moment. Its been reported that VZW is going to include this update with the Android 2.2/FroYo update, which is slated to roll out sometime between the end of the month to early August.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Dude, that is such an unsubstantiated claim made by BGR, and regurgitated by everyone else.

Besides, this is a development forum. Should folks just go back to stock for the next month or so?

Installing a leaked OTA, isn't any different than rooting, or using another ROM. Either way, it all has to be removed for an official Froyo update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Probably just to save folks the hassle and any sort of risk is worth the wait for the official update then to have it get rooted or "patched". Probably a reason why they held off the OTA if they were actually going to release the "leaked" ota it would have already happened officially. Seeing these claims made by various blogs make sense. It makes sense that nobody has seen the past OTA yet and that they would just package it together for later this month with some froyo. Besides, isn't BGR a pretty reliable source?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jorge7993:
I have a question . Before I installed this my phone was rooted .I had also installed the skyryder 1.9 froyo but since the camera didn't work I did nand restore and put the rooted Rom that I original had.I decided to install the update but after rooting the update ,the camera and WiFi didn't work.I once again used nand.know I was trying to add froyo again but it won't let me.could it be the update that messed that up?

Coming from the droid eris I can tell you a leaked ota is

no good . I jumped on the first 2.1 leak that came out and because it changed the bootloader out kept me from rooting and receiving the official release. I finally obtained root on that phone last week.

Therefore I will never download a leaked ota again.

You can downgrade anyways, not a problem here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
BGR a reliable source?

Yes, for Blackberries at some time in the past. Thats about it.

As for installing the official update and getting patched or rooted, thats just foolish thinking.

Folks need to stay RIGHT where they are, NOT UPGRADE when they get the prompt, and let folks evaluate how to root (or if it can be) it BEFORE installing.

Nothing like installing the latest official OTA and finding out you can no longer root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
I think you misunderstood my meaning of getting an OTA patched, or I got my words jumbled.

I meant have users stay where they are right now then upgrade to the OTA once they have a patched OTA rom/zip that we can upgrade to. (Similiar to what happened to the evo a few weeks ago)

Not upgrading to the official OTA and waiting for unrevoked or somebody to THEN patch it.

As far as the BGR opinion, I don't follow em so I just was led to that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JTCGiants56:
I'm not sure if this is happening to other people but after I installed the leaked OTA my phone has been running noticeably slower than normal. In linpack I used to average age about 7.1 Mflops but now I'm averaging around the 4 mark. Anyone else notice this slow down?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Nope, no performance loss.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdavis42:
I just installed this update.zip and my hboot is still .77. I have 720p video and 2.0 radio. Any ideas of why this didn't update my hboot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustinb17:
Should I be concerned that my build version and my software version don't match? I know I have 720 recording and hboot .79 but haven't been able to confirm anything else. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Thats the correct version info.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustinb17:
Thanks for the quick reply, I feel much better. And thanks for all your help on the Incredible, I'm an old Adrynalyne FanBoy from your Omnia days.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icedmayhem:
kernal

can anyone who flashed the ota do a nandroid of just the boot so i can get the htc stock kernal from the ota. i flashed a hydra kernal over and camera broke. when i flash back to my nandroid backup, wifi brakes but camera works.. im soo lost.. lol.. i did adb remove the built in 3g hotspot stuff and doubt that could have caused it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
If you restored a nandroid, that should include everything. If your wireless is broken, try this: http://www.multiupload.com/8X8VCCZO7T It's the wireless module that came with the stock ota kernel. In recovery, mount system and run the following command.

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

Then reboot and test your wireless.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Question here, currently im running hboot .79, and i also have a stock RUU that when applied gives me Hboot .79.. Do i need to find an older RUU That gives me .77 hboot in order to apply this update? or can i RUU my phone with the .79 version and be fine with the leaked ota?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The_Law2:
Joe, I applied the update off of hboot .79 so you should be fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
X2, ahh the omnia days
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Thank you, im doing this update more for the new radio then anything else, my house is in a relatively low signal area (2 bars) that bounces back and forth from 3g to 1x so im hoping the updated radio will help me out
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icedmayhem:
i wish i saw ur posting of that file earlier.. i did the downgrade and back to upgrade and reroot.. coulda saved alot of time if i would have checked the forum back a afew minutes later. heres an interesting bug i think i found with the ota. if you open ur gmail, pick any thats a conversation, click the tab in the email to show you the earlier read messages, and it doesnt open. i just flashed to sky raider to see if it was still there but its not.. if this is truly a bug, this one really stinks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaypr9:
Is there anyway to apply just the radio?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
If i do a nandroid of my phone as it sits right now, and then i downgrade and apply the OTA... and then i apply my old nandroid after rerooting... will my phone be exactly as it was, except ill have the updated radio version with no problems?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icedmayhem:
No you will have problems if you do that... the ota has a new kernal with it and breaks easily as ive come to know.. the only safe thing i believe you can restore would be your data partition as your system and boot get changed.. whenever i goto new rom i always so it from scratch. this coming from my droid days. minimizes the chance of errors
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Yes you can do that, no you should have no problems. I do it all the time.

YMMV.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
for anyone: how much does the new radio improve signal quality?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Not sure as I never had a signal quality issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Places like my house it is slightly better usually 2 bars instead of 1 or none, at work I don't notice a difference because of the thick walls. When I am outside or out and about, I get full bars most time reporting around -40 to -50 dBm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
since I got this phone, dBm's are not my friend

at work, I'm pullin -91 to -100 all day, my cell standby is outrageous
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
I'm getting high 50s to mid 60s routinely at work and 80s at home. This after adding the Allte/VZW PRL 65144. Much better performance, for me at least, than the original 51920 PRL.

As always, YMMV

JC
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
I just applied it and now getting -81, thanks for the heads up.

NW Ohio and VZW are not a good mix. I had (lesser) signal issues with my moto droid also
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
This is probably due to the structure of your building. I do notice I get better signal outside of work. Its just due to how your building is built and not your phone. When I used to have full bars before the update it would be around high -60 to-70dBm, now full bars for me is around -40to-50, so I know my signal has improved.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Madcaddie:
Just applied this, everything is working fine, my only concern is Facebook sync isnt working with my contacts... any idea as to why?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
obededom,

glad to be of service...right now at -60 dbm

jc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bakadeshi:
I read through most of this and didn;t see it mentioned, but If my phone is NOT rooted, and I apply this update, will I still loose all my apps and information? or do you only loose that from the unroot process?

thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
I have that same issue, but attributed it to the Facebok app itself, as I cannot set it to sync in Accounts and Sync. Facebook for HTC Sense does sync, however, so I still have pics for contacts.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
You only lose when you do the RUU update in the bootloader. The update will not cause you to lose your apps, but you might want to get the proper signature posted here for use with the OTA so you wont be missing apps in the market.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] btpowers:
Is anyone else having issues with alarms not going off consistently after the OTA patch? This is the only issue I've noticed after the patch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kntdookoo:
All the steps worked flawlessly from start to finish. Having no issues yet. My dBm has consistantly been -66 ish.

720 Vid Recording is OK, not great. But def a improvement.

All working 100%

nm. sorry.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Ill throw something out there, it seems that after installing the OTA update my signal bar does not update correctly or very fast at all??

For instance i can go into settings and see my signal is -60 dbm but my signal bar will show zero ( not X ) but zero or only 1 bar, even though the signal is incredibly strong, it is not reflected as such in the signal status bar.. i dont know if its just not refreshing very fast or what but i know that my signal bar is not accurate as to what my reported actual dbms are
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zebdor44:
If I'm using CM6 (the latest nightly build) and am on HBOOT .77 will running this OTA update ruin the current ROM on my phone? How should I go about running this update? Couldn't find any responses pertaining to this exactly.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] guitarevan07:
Hey guys, when I'm trying to apply the IMG its saying "update or current version is older", or something like that. Any Idea whats going on? I had applied this OTA a few days ago, then I installed the newest cyanogen nightly, then I tried to do this OTA process again. I wiped data/cache as well. I can't get past applying the IMG

Whats going on?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
You dont want to install the update again or you might brick your phone. You should always make nandroid backups when you are installing a new rom. If you would of just backed up your original nandroid, you could restore that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
I just ran the RUU, and now I no longer have a stock recovery????????

I was able to install clockwork via unrevoked after this, but I went to RUU again, and again no stock recovery??????

Does someone have a stock recovery image I can flash via unrevoked?? This really sucks. The phone can load up fine, its just that I get the red exclamation every time I try to run the stock recovery. Phone is not rooted while doing all of this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnyc418:
I have the same problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. That is the stock recovery, and I needed to update to update-1. Just needed to press up and power in there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnyc418:
Thank you I was able to get into recovery. But now when I try to apply update.zip it tells me that it can't find the file, even though I renamed it and put it in the root sd card directory. Can anyone help?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Format the sd card to FAT32
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ncwildcat:
Please help - I cant get into stock recovery for anything. Have reformatted sd to FAT32, tried adb reboot recovery from within stock, and tried going to recovery. Always get the red triangle with exclamition point

Edit: I'm stupid - I can admit. Just didn't push up and power when at the ^$%# red triangle. It's been a long day
[Droid Incredible Android Development] droidiac13:
I have been trying this for days and thanks to your post I was finally able to get it. I completely missed the holding the up and power to get into recovery to apply the update....

does this help the grounding issue

This update was rumured to address the issue making the touch screens unresponsive when laying on a nonconductive surface and only using one finger? Can anyone confirm or disprove this?
